Koehler's Index: 753. 1863, October 8, sent from Riga, Russia, by Lorewitz to Bading. Bading hat, wie es scheint, sich an Börsenkomite und dann an einzelne Kaufleute gewedet um Geld und von letzteres reche Gaben bekommen. Dann hat er mit Lohndienern gearbeitet, um sich die Arbeit zu erleichtern. Die haben aber für sich gearbeitet, sodass Lorewitz die Polizei darauf aufmerksam gemacht hat.

(It seems that Bading approached a stock exchange committee and then to individual merchants for money, and received gifts from the latter. Then he worked with hired servants to make his work easier. But they worked for themselves, so Lorewitz drew the police's attention to it.)
